Please help me out with a word uttered by Bush. Is this word (interchanges)... |
|
correctly used in the following context?
President Bush on Wednesday said, "Mr. President, welcome. I'm glad to welcome you back to the White House. I appreciate the very important discussions we had. Our discussions started with the bilateral relationship between the United States and Costa Rica. It is an important relationship. It's an important relationship when it comes to trade, it's an important relationship when it comes to interchanges between our governments and our peoples."

3. 'exchanges' might have been a better choice. |
|
But 'interchanges' is grammatically correct, even if it sounds awkward.

5. It's difficult to know for certain, especially since George W. |

is well known for his precise use of the English language.
